"We have come so close to winning that trophy many times, but could not do it, that is where everyone decided we have to do something different, but we had to do it," he added.
"It was good from team... It helped me, Rahul Dravid. We set out something for everyone, everyone did that, one game went against us, but we didn't do many things wrong, so there was not many changes that we needed to do in the squad, we just wanted to continue doing that," he added further.
